"Man or Muppet" is a song from the film, The Muppets. It is sung by the two protagonists, Gary and Walter about their decisions of whether they are Muppets or men. This occurs after Mary goes home when Gary forgets about their anniversary.

Gary:
I reflect on my reflection
And I ask myself the question
What's the right direction, to go
I don't know
Am I a man or am I a Muppet
Gary (Reflection):
Am I a Muppet
Gary:
If I'm a Muppet then I'm a very manly Muppet
Gary (Reflection):
Very manly Muppet
Gary / Gary (Reflection):
Am I a Muppet (Muppet) or am I a man
Gary (Reflection):
Am I a man
Gary:
If I'm a man that makes me a Muppet of a man
Gary (Reflection):
A Muppet of a man
Walter:
I look into these eyes
and I don't recognize
The one I see inside
It's time for me to decide
Am I a man or am I a Muppet
Walter (Reflection):
Am I a Muppet
Walter:
If I'm a Muppet, well I'm a very manly Muppet
Walter (Reflection):
Very manly Muppet
Walter / Walter (Reflection):
Am I a Muppet (Muppet) or am I a man
Walter (Reflection):
Am I a man
Walter:
If I'm a man that makes me a Muppet of a man
Walter (Reflection):
A Muppet of a man
All:
Here I go again
I'm always running out of time
I think I've made up my mind
Now I understand, who I am
Gary:
I'm a Man!
Walter:
I'm a Muppet!
Walter (Reflection):
I'm a Muppet of a man!
Walter:
I'm a very manly Muppet
Gary:
I'm a Muppet-y man!
Both:
That's what I am
